It looks like you painted them with the tires still on...so I'm guessing that it's not just the flash as there are 'silver' spots on the far side of the wheel in picture 2 that wouldn't have been caused by the flash.

Dude,

I'm as calm as can be.

You're the one that needs to lighten up...seems my post was just a simple observation and not an insult. Being that it was your first time it's decent work...and given that it's your car and you're happy with it then don't get your panties all up in a wad.

If it were my car I would either remove the tires to fully paint the lips or, as you mentioned, touch them up when it's warmer outside. Anytime you have tires mounted you'll need to make sure they're extra careful not to scratch them...which is why I would have spent the dosh to have them powdercoated, but that's just me.

Lastly, if you can't take criticism, constructive or otherwise, on a forum then you either shouldn't post or get some thicker skin.
